Opportunity Summary:
This CDC discretionary grant opportunity (Cooperative Agreement) is focused on strengthening and sustaining community-driven, culturally grounded traditional foods work as a pathway to health promotion and diabetes prevention in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The program title emphasizes "Using Traditional Foods and Sustainable Ecological Approaches," and the one-year funding period is designed less as a start-up grant and more as a chance for selected communities to solidify, evaluate, and finish key pieces of work that are already underway but at risk of slowing down due to limited time or resources. In practice, the opportunity centers on reinforcing traditional food systems and related ecological approaches (such as harvesting, gardening, local food access, and culturally informed nutrition practices) in ways that support long-term community wellness and reduce diabetes risk.
The purpose of the award is organized around three main expectations. First, recipients are expected to demonstrate that their culturally based traditional foods activities are sustainable and/or becoming institutionalized within their communities. "Sustainable" here points to activities that can continue beyond the grant year, while "institutionalized" implies these efforts are being embedded into routine operations of tribal programs, community organizations, schools, clinics, or other local systems rather than depending on short-term projects. Second, recipients are expected to evaluate strategies that are already established and sustainable, as well as emerging strategies that are developing through continued program activity. The announcement explicitly frames these strategies broadly, including environmental approaches, health practice or policy changes, and self-sustaining activities, which signals CDC interest in system-level or community-level change rather than one-time education events. Third, the award is intended to help recipients complete existing activities that likely would not be finished otherwise because of limited time and funds, meaning the grant can be used to push ongoing work over the finish line, document results, and strengthen continuation plans.
In terms of scope and scale, CDC anticipated up to 17 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1.7 million. The award ceiling is $100,000, and there is no stated minimum (award floor is listed as $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for participation for eligible entities. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.945, Assistance Programs for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control, placing the opportunity squarely within chronic disease prevention and health promotion efforts. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more involved relationship with CDC than a standard grant, often including federal technical assistance or collaboration expectations during implementation and evaluation.
Eligibility is narrowly defined to AI/AN entities because the work requires deep cultural and community knowledge and the capacity to operate appropriately within AI/AN contexts. Eligible applicants include federally recognized American Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages and Corporations meeting the definitions in 25 U.S.C. Section 1603(d); tribal organizations such as intertribal councils and American Indian health boards as defined in 25 U.S.C. Section 1603(e) and supported by resolutions indicating representation of the underlying tribes; and Urban Indian Health Programs, tribal and intertribal consortia meeting definitions in 25 U.S.C. Section 1603(f) and/or 1603(g). The posting also lists specific eligible recipients (17 entities across multiple states) that are eligible to apply under this opportunity, which effectively limits competition to that defined group. Those listed include organizations and tribes such as the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium, United Indian Health Services, and others.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted March 27, 2013, with an application closing date of April 29, 2013, and an archive date of May 29, 2013. The sponsoring agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The notice indicates the full announcement would normally be accessed through the "Full Announcement" area, and applicants needing help accessing materials were directed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (Technical Information Management Section) at 770-488-2700. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a short, targeted investment meant to help certain AI/AN communities prove long-term staying power of traditional foods programming, assess what is working (and why), strengthen systems or policy/environmental supports, and complete high-value unfinished activities that contribute to healthier dietary patterns and diabetes prevention.
